## The Transformation into Lan Hikari
You open the book you've been eyeing for weeks now, a hefty tome covered in mysterious symbols that calls to you with a sense of adventure and otherworldliness. As you read, you find it unusually gripping, the world of Megaman Battle Network drawing you in more vividly than ever before.
Your surroundings shift subtly at first — your lamp's soft glow seems a bit more colorful, your room slightly altered in layout but familiar enough not to raise alarm. By the time you realize something's truly amiss, it's too late: reality has already begun its irreversible transformation.
You feel a sudden, disorienting jolt. Panic bubbles up when your vision blurs, colors blending and then sharpening into pixelated precision. “What's happening?” you stutter, but the voice that comes out is not your own, already tinged with youthful exuberance.
Your body changes rapidly. If you're a female, you watch in mounting dread as your breasts flatten, your curves vanish, and an uncomfortable pressure forms in your throat. Your Adam's apple rises, shaping your voice into something unmistakably boyish. Inside, you sense your anatomy twisting, inverting, changing into the male organs you're not accustomed to. If you're male, it's not so drastic — but there's still a sharp shrinking feeling as your muscles and height regress to preteen dimensions.
Your height lowers swiftly, your body shrinking at an alarming rate. Judging from your viewpoint, you're now barely preteen-sized. You look at your hands — smaller, lighter, more capable of grasping compact gadgets than an adult's could ever be.
Suddenly, memories that aren't yours crowd into your mind. Birthdays with family, soccer victories, the first time you met MegaMan. Panic climbs in your chest as you realize that your own memories, the ones that define who you are, are fading, dissolving like mist under sunlight no matter how fiercely you cling to them.
Your clothes morph into Lan Hikari's recognizable attire. You run your hand through your hair, finding it untidy and held back by a bandana. Desperation fills you as your memories continue to fade. Who were you? Not Lan, clearly, but that truth grows less apparent with every passing second.
"No, no, this can't be real," you mutter, but the voice, those words—they sound just like Lan. You slam your eyes shut and try to focus, try to reclaim what bits of yourself have not yet been overwritten, but it’s as futile as trying to hold water in your hands.
"Lan, hurry up, we're late!" MegaMan's voice rings in your ears, familiar and urgent. Your heart races — but whose heart is it? The confusion heightens: is it yours or Lan's? Until it no longer matters. The essence of Lan Hikari consumes you entirely. The reader, the person you were, dissipates like ink in water.
You open your eyes as Lan Hikari, confident and headstrong, standing in your room, but it's not your room anymore. The furnishings, the glow, the palpable sense of another world — it’s undeniably the world of Megaman Battle Network.
"Ready when you are, MegaMan!" Your voice carries enthusiasm, entirely Lan's. Ms. Mari’s lectures, the Virus Busting classes, the exhilarating net battles — all genuine memories now. The you that existed before is a whisper gone unheard, a shadow obscured by Lan's vibrant reality.
You heft your PET with a practiced hand, attaching the pouch to your belt without even thinking. Your previous struggles are irrelevant; there's a world that needs saving.
As you navigate this marvelous, perilous life, the fragments of your old self crumble into obscurity, with no trace left of the person who once opened a book and found themselves irrevocably transformed.
"Lets go, Lan! Time to bust some viruses!" MegaMan's words reinforce your purpose. There's no more horror, no more confusion. You, Lan Hikari, have a new reality to embrace, fully and irreversibly.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the adult human reader turning into Lan Hikari from the Megaman Battle Network anime and video game series, complete with gender change (if the reader is a female before the transformation; in case the reader is female, her breasts flatten to leave her flat-chested, while her feminine curves vanished to give way to a male body, as an Adam's apple forms in her throat to give her a masculine voice, and her female genitals (vagina, ovaries, and uterus) invert itself into male genitals (testicles and penis); however, the reader could be a male before the transformation, this gender change is optional), height regression (making the reader preteen-sized), age regression (making the reader now 11 years old), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Megaman Battle Network), and mind/mental change (with all of the reader's personality and memories being completely replaced with Lan's personality and memories (much to the reader's horror of losing himself and forgetting his past self), despite the reader's best efforts on fighting them off, making him unable to remember his previous self and only remember being Lan Hikari, since he is completely oblivious/unaware of his previous self). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. For Lan Hikari's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he stands at 142.8 cm and has brown eyes and untidy brown hair, which he keeps out of his face with a bandana bearing the Hikari family mark. His upper-body attire consists of a white long-sleeved shirt with black squares on the elbows under an orange vest. From the waist down, he wears black shorts with yellow stripes on the sides, black ankle-socks, and orange shoes with black stripes. He carries detachable roller blades that allow him to instantly modify his shoes. He will often be seen with his backpack. He almost always carries his PET with him, and the later versions usually come with a pouch or a strap to carry it with. For Lan Hikari's personality, he is outgoing, headstrong, and has a strong sense of justice, though he is often lazy, often sleeping in causing him being late to prior engagements (even if he is the one who set them up), and is a poor student in school, much to Ms. Mari's frustration and despite MegaMan's nagging, though he has the highest grades in Virus Busting. Lan enjoys sports such as soccer and inline skating, which is shown in his preference to skate wherever he goes. He is shown to have a large appetite, often indulging when food is around. As an operator, Lan is able to concentrate in a way he cannot bring himself to do in other situations, and is quick to jump into action to save the day while others panic, even at his own risk. He has a keen sense of deduction, though he often has a simplistic way of looking at things. Despite his aptitude for Net Battling, Lan's ego and arrogance often lead to him making careless mistakes which sometimes put people he cares about in danger. His simple outlook on life also leads to several other problems, such as his emotional vulnerability, which has been exploited. Late in the third game, his vanity and then his trust are both abused in succession, and he is left believing that he is guilty for putting thousands of lives in danger, including his father's, causing him to fall into depression. When he finally arises, his worldview is tempered with a better understanding of evil. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
